Sarah-Jane Lynagh

Posted by Angelo | October 24, 2008

Sarah-Jane Lynagh completed a degree in Fine Art at the Crawford College of Art & Design, Cork, Ireland in 2003. She has just completed a MA in Fine Art photography at the University for the Creative Arts, Rochester, UK.

Her work revolves around a cluster of issues chief among which are sexuality, death, identity, abjection, the monstrous feminine and loss. Despite the universal importance of these issues her work remains firmly grounded in the specifics of her individual experience.

Using unconventional materials such as offal and parts of dead animals she makes props which she then incorporates into video and photographic works where the body is of primary concern. Her intent is to turn the body inside out and subvert the role of the meat making it an attachment to the outer body in order to evoke feelings that something is habitual yet out of place and threatening.

Also, her aim is to create work that is simultaneously seductive and repellent and engages with the viewers desire to gain access to the subject through symbolization.

    Arte "crudo"…

    Otra de esas ideas "artísticas" que muchos no logramos entender, en este caso Sarah Jane, se dispone a transmitir su concepto de arte por medio de la utilización de materiales poco comunes. Un poco gore diría yo. [Las imágenes pueden dañ…
